A
Partner in Biological Control of Aflatoxin Contamination
Circle
One Global is licensed by the USDA/ARS Office of Technology Transfer
as the exclusive, worldwide manufacturer and marketer of .
This patented biocontrol technology was developed by the USDA
National Peanut Research Lab, located in Dawson, Georgia. The
non-toxigenic competitive fungus dramatically lowers aflatoxin
levels in field peanuts, making them safer and more profitable.
On May
28, 2004, Circle One Global secured a Section 3 registration
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which allows the
commercial use of .
The registration distinguishes as
the only safe, effective and approved method of controlling aflatoxin
contamination in peanuts, even in storage, which greatly impacts
the reduction of economic losses.
The
commercialization of brings
tremendous benefits to the peanut industry because there is no
other method currently available for reducing and controlling
aflatoxin. Unlike many other edible commodities, which have been
genetically modified for the purpose of resisting specific conditions,
genetically modified peanuts do not exist and neither does the risks of genetic engineering.
Circle
One Global is committed to the continued resolution of reducing
aflatoxin contamination, as a partner in biological control technology. |
